This one's not following the expected script, but the Sharks will take it.

San Jose scored seven unanswered goals after falling into a 2-0 hole at SAP Center to win 7-2 Sunday night, blowing out the Los Angeles Kings for the second time in what most people expected to be a tight-checking, low-scoring Stanley Cup playoff series.

The Sharks continue their quest for redemption after a seven-game loss to the Kings in last year's second round when the best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series resumes Tuesday in Los Angeles.

"I don't think this series is going to play out in blowouts like this night after night," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "They're a very good hockey team, they'll find their game and they're going to push us, and we have to be prepared for that."

It took the Sharks 84:07 of this year's series to score the same number of goals, 10, as they scored in seven games last year against the Kings and goalie Jonathan Quick.

"He's probably the best goalie in the league," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "We've been working hard for our goals. ... Scoring seven, it was just a weird night."

Losers 6-3 in Game 1 when they surrendered the first five goals, the Kings responded by scoring twice in the first period Sunday despite getting outshot 15-10. Quick was on top of his game as all signs pointed toward a knotted series.

But the Sharks' overall balance from the first through the fourth lines showed through again. San Jose managed three goals during a turn-the-tables second period, then put the icing on the cake with a four-goal explosion in the third.

"Games like this, you don't stop playing, you don't give up," fourth-line catalyst Mike Brown said. "This is how the whole series is going to go. We didn't stop."

San Jose's energetic fourth line turned the tide in the middle period. Andrew Desjardins jumped on a Kyle Clifford turnover, fed Brown in the slot and his one-timer beat a surprised Quick at 4:25.

Raffi Torres capped an odd sequence in which the line was hemmed in in its defensive end only to break out and score on the rush. His second goal in as many games from the inside edge of the right circle fooled Quick at 9:04.

Then it was defenseman Justin Braun blindly throwing a puck at the net from the right point that went through a Tommy Wingels screen past Quick at 14:45 as the building exploded with noise.

"I was just looking at the guy's feet in front of me," Braun said of the Kings' defender. "Luckily it found its way in."

Instead of sitting back with a one-goal lead and a period to go, the Sharks turned up the speed in the third. Patrick Marleau capped a 3-on-2 break at 1:08 with his second of the series, a blast from the left wing that Quick was late to cover.

Joe Pavelski took advantage of a bad L.A. line change at 4:07 to make it 5-2. At 8:08 Marleau fed Logan Couture on a 2-on-1 for goal No. 6 and Thornton finished the offensive barrage with a 5-on-3 power-play goal at 10:06.

"We need that, we need everyone to beat this team," Pavelski said.

"Success has only been two games, there's a lot more left," McLellan said. "You need to have everybody stirring the drink. We got good mileage out of about everybody who dressed."
